Interest rate provided herein definition

Interest rate provided herein means that rate equal to one and one-half percentage points above the interest rate charged on loans to depository institutions by the New York Federal Reserve Bank at the start of business on the first business day of each month, unless the payor segregates the payment from its operating funds and deposits the same in a demand deposit account with a federally insured bank or savings and loan institution that earns interest at the highest rate being offered by that institution for the amount due payee by payor in such account, in which case the "interest rate provided herein" means the interest rate actually earned by payor on that account.
